SMASH: Dong vs Trump PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kali Turner (ranked 3281 p4p, 2675 weight class) and Benjamin Torkoly Jr (ranked 425 p4p, 363 weight class). Kali Turner had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Kali Turner has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between White Blood Cell (ranked 762 p4p, 1110 weight class) and Biabas Kitjakarn (ranked 104 p4p, 140 weight class). Blood Cell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Heavy Metal we will die!. Kitjakarn is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dancing Drums. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
